Mind Space: Maximalism in Contrasts

This exhibition of mixed media installations portrays a new realm of artistic expression. Mind Space introduces 4 Chinese abstract artists who convey the concept of "Maximalism" to a global audience. Maximalism is a term coined by curator Dr. Gao Minglu, one of the world's leading scholars of Chinese contemporary art. Maximalism expresses the meditative mind of the abstract artist during the creation process, emphasizing the spiritual experience of art-making. The creations of Zhu Jinshi, Zhang Yu, Lei Hong, and He Xiangyu are a dialogue between artist and nature, an inventive response to a rapidly changed material world.

Mind Space is curated by Gao Minglu and developed by Pearl Lam Galleries, Shanghai, China with tour organized by International Arts & Artists, Washington, DC.

Project 35

Project 35 is a program of single-channel videos selected by 35 international curators who have each chosen one work by an artist that they think is important for audiences around the world to experience today.

Project 35 is produced and circulated by iCI (Independent Curators International), New York. The exhibition and tour are made possible by grants from the Cowles Charitable Trust; Foundation for Contemporary Art; the Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation; The Toby Fund; and iCI Benefactors Agnes Gund, Gerrit and Sydie Lansing, Jo Carole Lauder, and Barbara and John Robinson.

DePauw Chamber Players

Pianist May Phang, violinist Dan Rizner, and cellist Eric Edberg explore "music and the other" with compositions by Robert Schumann (1810-1856), Rebecca Clarke (1886-1979), and Libby Larsen (b. 1950). Schumann suffered from mental illness and in that sense was "the other." He also was an influential critic who wrote with disdain for the "Philistines" ("others" to him) who couldn't comprehend or appreciate what he saw as true art. Rebecca Clarke was marginalized as a "woman" composer, the "other" in a male-dominated classical music culture. Libby Larsen, who came of age during the feminist revolution, is regarded as one of the major classical composers of our time, no longer a "woman composer." For years, many American classical musicians saw popular idioms as a threat and treated them with disdain. Larsen's piece "Three for the Road" is inspired by Boogie-woogie and represents classical music embracing what it once regarded as "the other."
